FREE TO-GO MEALS

The Grants Pass Boys & Girls Club will continue serving USDA* meals twice a day Monday through Friday through the summer. Averaging just over 500 meals a day, the Club is serving youth and making deliveries to multiple housing units, emergency childcare facilities and families in need. We’re incredibly grateful to be able to continue to serve our community in this way. Chef Joanne puts all her love into creating these meals every day.

Monday – Friday

SPECIAL EVENTS

Many of our special events, raising much needed funds for our programming, have been postponed. Please visit our Events Page for updated information. Thank you for your patience as we work to reschedule and redesign these events.

ONLINE ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

Our Program Directors have been busy compiling all sorts of enrichment activities, links to free educational sites, fun worksheets and “get-moving” ideas on our website and Facebook– from games you can play to stories being read to staying active and so much more! They’ve also created videos to “interact” with all of the Club Members we miss so dearly. Check out the videos on our YouTube Channel.

YOU CAN HELP

Chris and Giff Gates of Gates Home Furnishings are challenging the community to match their $2,500 gift (or start your own match challenge in a different amount) in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley’s COVID-19 Relief Efforts.

Check in with your local food banks, schools and churches for support as well. As a reminder, to-go meals are available at most local schools, as well as at the Grants Pass Boys & Girls Club.

Here are links to local resources:

Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) are covering a full range of behavioral health screenings, assessments and services via telehealth (synchronous audio and video) and telephone (for those that don’t have access to video/web technology). Youth and families can continue to get support from Options, LaClinica/RCH School Based providers, Family Solutions, OnTrack, etc. via virtual treatment. Members can contact their preferred treatment agency by phone and set up a virtual visit.

If a youth or family member is experiencing a mental health crisis, they can call 541-474-5360 in Josephine County or 541-774-8201 in Jackson County 24 hours 7 days a week. A trained professional will talk to them and help to figure out what resources might be best.

Online and Virtual Resources for Children and Families:

Peer lines- If you need support, there are lots of virtual resources out there to help you connect to others that have struggled with mental health or substances use as well. Here are some great resources:
